OK, now lets discuss the 22 TCM

[Rule3]

I'm not so sure how long the .22TCM will be around.
After a flurry of activity surrounding its release, Armscor doesn't seem to be able to maintain ammo and component supply.

I don't have a TCM, but do have a .22 Hornet and .218Bee I had begun feeding the 40gr rnhp bullets used in the .22TCM. Though not quite as accurate as a Sierra bullet, at 1/2 the price I found them preferred.
Both my Ruger 77/22Hornet and Marlin 1894CL shoot them into 1.5" or less (100yds 5-shots) and achieve similar or better velocity than the TCM.
Grafs had the bullets for ~$70/1,000 shipped, and I got 1,000 after trying 100.

Subsequently Grafs has sold out and have been out for nearly a year. They only recently received more brass and ammo.

If Savage would chamber it in the Mod25, and HighPoint in its Carbine, and other manufacturers pick up ammo and bullets, it might survive, but I won't be holding my breath.

The 22 TCM AMMO is readily available at several online vendors (not cheap), the components for reloading not so much.But it is avaibale, brass can be formed from 223 brass,

My primary interest was in Handguns, not rifles

There of course is the FN 5.7 and the rimfire 22 Mag from KelTec but I have no interest in that one.

I took the leap and am now reloading for the 22TCM.

Lee dies
Universal expander
FCD
Projectiles & cases from ammosupplywarehouse.com
Some fired brass
W296 powder

It’s not too difficult if you go slow to carefully figure out die settings and proper case dimensions. I did get a headspace gauge and a trimmer from ctstrimmer.com. Very helpful.

200 rds loaded so far!
